Update November 2020: The Kama Sutra Intimate Caress shaving cream is still around; it just has some updated packaging.
The Kama Sutra Intimate Caress is an ultra-rich moisturizing shave cream for women (and men!). It is sold by TabuToys. The bottle I received is the coconut pineapple scent. The shave cream comes in a plastic bottle that has a pump-top for operation. The bottle is discreet-looking, and it can easily be kept in the shower without anyone suspecting it is adult in nature. The bottle includes 8.5 fluid ounces, and after 4 uses, I have barely even made a dent. I would say this has at least 40-50 uses for me.
One of my biggest dislikes of shave cream is when it leaves your hands feeling all icky. Unfortunately, with my past couple of experiments into shave cream, that’s exactly what it did. It made my hands feel awkward and make them feel extra-awkward when I touched my own skin. I hate, hate, HATE that sensation. The amazing thing about the Kama Sutra Shaving Cream is that there isn’t that sensation at all. My hands, while slick, feel exactly the same as before I had used the cream, and I absolutely love it!
Partner that with the fact that it’s just a great shaving cream, and you have yourself a good product! My favorite part is how soft it leaves my skin feeling. Not only does it wash off really easily without leaving any gross residue on the skin, but it also tends to leave my skin feeling even softer. I normally have issues with dry skin, but after shaving with this, I actually didn’t have any problems at all. It really does moisturize exactly like it claims to do.
And the scent? It’s great! It’s there, and it smells amazing, but it doesn’t overpower. The scent is mostly from the coconut, and I must admit that, after all the times I’ve used it, I still can not smell the pineapple. The coconut smells very genuine and un-chemical-ly.
It doesn’t clog up the razor either. It’s very light-weight, and it actually does go on like a lotion. For that reason, it doesn’t really show on the skin which is probably the biggest downfall. I love shaving foam because you can see where you’ve shaved, but with the Kama Sutra Intimate Caress cream, it goes on completely clear, so while you can feel it as your skin is very slick, you can’t really see where the lotion is and isn’t.
Does it prevent in-grown hairs at all? No, I can’t say that I’ve seen a difference there. It doesn’t claim to, though. Instead, it does leave my skin feeling soft, and it also leaves a very faint scent on my skin as well. It’s something that I can smell on my skin throughout the day, so I must say that I don’t mind at all. It’s a soft, sensual scent that isn’t too strong.
Interested in the ingredient list? Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Centrimonium Bromide, Colloidal Oatmeal, Ale Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Panthenol, Sodium PCA, Dimethicone, Guar Hydroxyprophyltrimonium Chloride, Steareth-21, Sorbic Acid, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance. We had absolutely no issues with irritation or allergies, and the bottle says that it has been dermatologist and allergy-tested.
Overall, I love this shaving cream. Not only does it make my skin soft, but it’s easy to apply, leaves my hands smooth, and smells amazing. When this runs out, I think I’m seriously going to have to purchase another bottle.
